If that documentation serves another human-operated querying AI it already provides value as a cached work that prevents another AI from re-extracting that knowledge from the code (burning time & tokens in the process).

Another question is keeping those docs up to date...

That is funny, sad & scary at the same time.

100 dumb folks don't make an Einstein

"I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

Darth Vader, VP of Contract Renegotiation

Thing is even in some outbursts he was right.

Just by its testing and its number of installations (real world testing) you could consider SQLite being more "industrial strength" than any other DB on the market.

The winner writes the history.

E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Legend

Problem is that in our job we are conflating several things that are different:

- Coding: Writing instructions in a programming language. Example: writing a function that calculates the total price of an order.

- Programming: Designing a solution, writing the code, testing it, and fixing problems. Example: building a small application that manages orders and payments.

- Software engineering: Creating and maintaining reliable software systems using structured processes, architecture, testing, documentation, and teamwork. Example: designing an online store that can support millions of users and be maintained for many years.

It seems like in the future coding will all be done by machines and we can use our brain for the other 2 things.

Ludovico Technique as a service

As an outside observer with no horse in this race I think this post its more about the feelings of Andrew than pure technical content. He must surely feel frustated about Bun's migration to Rust and what it means for Zig, but it reads as sour grapes.

Compare the tone of this post to the one from Jarred about the Rust migration from yesterday, that one reads like a sensible technical document (no matter what you feel about the AI assisted migration).

This one reeks of hurt ego to me. Hell hath no fury like a language creator scorned.

We need to coin a new term for the paranoic feeling that every text on the internet is written by LLMs.

I propose GPTSD (GPT + PTSD)

EDIT: Another one, AIdar (like gaydar but for AI text). EDIT2: GPTSD has prior art (literally) https://ryanthompson.name/project-gptsd.html

I think the same, it's possible our job will morph into "coding agent herders". In this case I guess the test harnesses, linters, workflows, etc will be our herding dogs.

Your example of using 50 people for this reminded me of the classic “Nine women can’t make a baby in one month.”

HINT: those 50 people must be coordinated...

As I like how Banks writes and they are not directly related to The Culture they won't have to meet the expectations of the others I tried.

Thanks, will read them.

But then you have the problem of cleaning the feces from that mirror.

I think that literate people can recover from a period of not reading (books) at all.

I recently had more than a year of not reading any books that was interrupted when I found about The Culture series. I read Use of Weapons and had to read all novels from that universe. After that I tried to find some books similar to them, tried to read some recommended ones (didn't finish any of them) and stopped reading.

In my case reading books is a kind of fever that I get every year or so.

Good luck trying to enforce that outside of the US.

- People that want to do drugs already can buy them, with worse quality and the with the side-effect of funding crime at a planetary scale.

- Alcohol, tobacco & weed are already legal... why them and no other drugs? Check how many deaths do alcohol & tobacco provoke.

- Taxes, lots of taxes, literal mountains of money... a small percentage of which can be redirected to treating addicts.

Good luck trying to enforce those laws outside of the USA. And in the future China will be happy to sell local inference hardware at competitive prices.

Open, cheap & good enough will win the race.

Remenber that nationalism if based on 2 things:

- Hating people you don't know

- Being proud of things you didn't do

I was on the fence in the discussion about physical video games because since 10-15 years ago 99% of the games I have purchased are digital (blame Steam). And also any physical game you buy today already has a day one patch waiting for you so arguably the game on the disc is somewhat "defective" as it is.

But I hadn't thought about things that will also die with no physical media:

- Lending a game to a friend - Second hand market - Retro computing collecting (think that ub 20+ years PS4/PS5 will be collected like NES, NeoGeo... is collected today)

And conveniently all these things don't make any money for the game publishers/console companies...

I prefer using the more memory friendly M (uppercase) for memory and P (uppercase) for CPU

Arguably attributed to Keanu Reeves (I choose to believe it is):

“I’m at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right. Have fun.”

Building something like this is the todo list of agents.

I found this one easy to understand:

More of a gossipbait to be honest.

Last time I read about Nix there was a BDFL "assassination" and some people mad about Anduril.

Drama is the salt of opensource, a little bit is always fun.

Let's talk about the important things... how is the drama currently on the Nix community?

Just today I saw this on Twitter a good example of how AI should be used for animation.
